Securing Bikes in Your House

[Miranda]

We cannot fit this many bikes in the house unless we completely use one entire room for them. I am also looking at doing a rider on my homeowners.

As big as "bike people" that you are now... why not do this? Seriously. I've literally removed furniture in rooms, and parked cars outside the garage, to make more bike space.

Another good idea, yes. Several policies allow ou to schedule things like bicycles, cameras, jewelry, etc. It's definitely worth it.

And, a couple of big guard dogs with free access to the garage may help too...

I have mine scheduled as a rider on my home owner's insurance as well. I thought the rates were responable... especially considering what my bikes are worth to me in my life.

It's funny you say that about the dogs. Because for one thing it is true. Some tv show about thieves once I heard of said a dog is the number one deterent for thieves. The thief would figure out how to cut the security system before they would want to mess with the dog.

When we had a bike theft attempt at our house it was when my late blonde lab was sick. It was shortly before I had to put her down, and she was simply too sick to bark. Otherwise, no one got near my house without me knowing it. The thieves came into the lighted garage, tried to pull my mtb outta the bike rack, and with the front glass door clearing showing me sitting at my pc from the road... that's some b*lls man... just my bike they were after... the most expensive one in the rack.

Stealin peeps are crazy!

p.s Edit Add: that bike is inside the house now, btw... yep, mtb mud in the knobbies and all... sitting right in my formal dining room... with white carpet, and victorian drapes... room is rarely ever used for dining... been thinking about taking out the table to make a better set up for the bikes! The carbon roadie sleeps across from the foot of my bed... and I did take out furniture there as well to make room for the bike lol.
